They are both training for the 2012 London Games. I get to try out one of Señor Glow's presents, Tom the Scot is with us, all the stuff you love, right here! Read the full description.

Playing: The Mikie Show #11 Dimitri & Girts
From: Michael Carroll

Latvian_flag_small Show eleven features an interview with two of Latvia's Olympic hopefuls. Actually one of them, Dimitri Mikevics, represented Latvia in the Athens games of 2004 and the Beijing Games in 2008. Dimitri runs the 800 meters, Girts runs the 1500 meters. Geez, these guys are in such good shape. I challenged them to a foot race and the results are right here on The Mikie Show. Also, since we're a variety show, you can enjoy our other features: The News, our Sound Quiz, Tom the Scot stops by with a new riddle and so much more! Thanks for tuning in.
